If you’ve been searching, you know. Finding a two-bedroom, one-bath condo in the Kaimukī/Wai‘alae area isn’t easy. Inventory is tight, and what’s out there has either a high monthly maintenance fee with little to show for it, or hasn’t been updated since before you were born.

This Kaimukī cottage is the perfect alternative. Recently remodeled, the owners managed to keep all the charm of the original home, which was built in 1929. The two bedrooms share an adjoining bathroom, and the home has all new appliances, glass-front cabinets, a gas range, and the gorgeous little details classic Kaimukī cottages are known for.

It’s not quite 600 square feet, but you’re surrounded by your own fenced yard on the 2,232-square-foot lot, with no one above or below you, and you’ll never have to wait for an elevator.
